Beekeeping Experience hosted by Bee Friends - Friday 6th June 2025

We're joined by resident beekeeper, Sergio, from Bee Friends, for a special event at Foxhills' beehives. Sergio is a local bee farmer based just outside Guildford who manages more than 220 colonies of honeybees across 41 sites, mainly in Surrey.

​During this hosted talk, Sergio will talk about the life of honeybees throughout the year and explain the different sections and components of a typical beehive. 

You will then have the chance to put the bee-suits and gloves on and look at the honeybees up close inside a beehive handling various frames with honey and bees. 

The experience last an hour and a half, followed by cream tea in our 19th-century manor house.
